Toolset and category of thing you make. Of course an F1 and a 4x4 are more similar than an F1 and a jet.
Or, because they were cut of from the mainland long ago and didn't spread. No need to invoke evolution here.
Because the world wasn't created at once, but in 6 days. Again, this doesn't disprove anything.
Macro-evolution is nothing but a hypothesis, without any (decisive/exclusive) evidence.
I hope I don't sound sheepish, I'm just short on time... I hope you can address my answers again :)

You can read more in-depth evidence in the book, "The Greatest Show on Earth. Evolution is not a hypothesis, it is a fact. It's not even debated among biologists. If you have some evidence against it (or for creation), submit it to a peer-reviewed journal. If you can throw evolution into question, you'll win a nobel prize for sure.
Animals on islands are completely unique. That's because they've been cut off from the mainland for millions of years and evolved completely differently. 100% of the mammals native to Australia are marsupials (excluding bats which can fly), and 100% of all marsupials are native to Australia, evolution took a different branch there. Galapagos and Madagascar also have animals that are very different, but they are most similar to the animals closest the island, and those animals are most similar to the animals geographically close to them.
Yes, the fossil record is incomplete (as we should expect), but it completely supports evolution. If you want to disprove evolution, find a single mammal fossil below the Devonean layer. Find a single human fossil that is 10 million+ years old. Why do we see the progression in the fossil record at all? Why are there no vertebrates beyond a certain layer?
Macro-evolution is what happens when micro-evolution has millions of years. They aren't as distinctly different as you seem to think.
